this output has one part: (1) teams listed by RATING top-to-bottom

The SCHEDULE ratings represent what the rating would have to be for ahypothetical team to have a mathematical expectation of winning precisely 50%of their games against the schedule played by the team in question in the gamesthat it has played so far. The schedule difficulty of each given game takesinto account the rating of the opponent and the location of the game. Thisis the same concept that is used in computing the WIN50% conference ratings.

In COLLEGE FOOTBALL the W-L records include ALL games, but ONLYgames between the 256 TEAMS RATED&nbsphere are used for RATING and SCHEDULESTRENGTH computations.

To make predictions for upcoming games, simply compare the RATINGS ofthe teams in question and allow an ADDITIONAL 3 points for the hometeam. Thus, for example, a HOME team with a rating of 92 would befavored by 5 points over a VISITING team having a rating of 90.Or a VISITING team with a rating of 89 would be favored by 7 pointsover a HOME team having a rating of 79.

NOTE: Use whatever home advantage is listed in the output below.&nbsp In the example just above, a home edge of 3 was shown for&nbsp illustrative purposes. The home edge will vary during the season.Several different home edges are shown, one for each of the several different type of ratingsdirectly over their respective columns.

The numbers to the right of a team's schedule strengthare its rank of schedule - (in parentheses) - and itsrecord versus teams in these rating's&nbspCURRENT&nbsptop 10and top 30&nbsprespectively.

Teams that appear to be tied to two decimal places in a given column are actuallydifferent when carried to more decimal places in the computer's internal arithmetic.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The PREDICTOR, is such that the score&nbspis the only thing&nbspthat matters.PREDICTOR&nbspis also known as PURE_POINTS, BALLANTINE, RHEINGOLD, WHITE OWLand is a very good PREDICTOR&nbspof future games.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GOLDEN_MEAN&nbspalso utilizes the actual SCORES&nbspof the games in a different way but is also completely SCORE BASEDand thus should be a good match for the PURE POINTS&nbspin terms of predictive accuracy for upcoming games.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The RECENT, is score-based&nbspand weights RECENT&nbspplay more heavily than earlier games. Its effect will becomemore pronounced the longer a season goes if a given team happens to have an upward or downward trend.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The overall RATING&nbspis a synthesis&nbspof the three different SCORE-BASED&nbspmethods, PREDICTOR(PURE_POINTS), GOLDEN_MEAN,and RECENT&nbspand thus should be a good predictor in its own right.
